Hi! Every one of our blog post has a green substitutions box in it – this is covered in there 🙂 Pasting it below: You can’t substitute brown or short grain rice in this recipe. It will not work. Different types of rice cook differently.

Can brown rice or other type be used? Thanks!

I experienced the undercooked rice as well but I did not have a 12×9 pan so I used a smaller casserole dish I had… I also eye balled the ingredients, used water because I didn’t have broth either… I cooked it on 370 for 60 minutes and was cooked almost perfectly(the middle of the dish still had a small amount of not completely cooked rice but I xan get over it, I’m learning to cook). I think the undercooked rice people are experiencing might be due to the food to pan ratio and just need to keep cooking it longer and hotter? I don’t know but that’s what I experienced. After making it until the rice was done it was SOOO good! Definitely making it again.

In reply to Kathy Moore. I haven't tried that, so I'm not sure how it would work. You'd still have to make it for the same amount of time because of the rice. I worry the chicken might dry out because it's being cooked twice! If you try it let me know :)

Could this be made with rotisserie chicken

In reply to Carol Sherman. I used whole grain brown rice, the minute variety. And I also used cooked, shredded chicken. With these two tweaks, I took about 15 minutes off the cooking time. I think it turned out great!

In reply to Kathy. It's raw. You can brown it before if you'd like!

Question? Is the chicken cooked or uncooked?

Turns out perfect every time and is a family favorite! I also added more veggies (zucchini, bell pepper, & riced cauliflower) and still turns out amazing!😻

Very easy and tasty. Only change I would make is to cut the chicken a little larger as by the time the rice was cooked through, the chicken was slightly dry. Served with tortilla chips, jalapeños, the rest of the jar of salsa and topped with crema.

I absolutely love this recipe, it’s easy to customize with your favorites. We use chicken thighs and canned corn and eat it with chips. Whole family enjoys it.
